uh wow 150 words. okay here goes -




Antony is very satisfied with the reaction of the people. He had instigated the entire mass of the city of Rome to take revenge and now wanted the course of events and actions to happen on their own. He watches the outraged public to react in a violent way towards the conspirators who killed Julius Caesar.Antony's speech undermines the conspirators even while it appears deferential to them. He manages to turn the mob against the conspirators. Antony uses many rhetorical questions to persuade the people to go against the conspirators and support him and Caesar's goals. This entire speech won over the crowd and turned them against the conspirators. When Antony delivered this speech, his words melted with those of Caesar's to rouse the masses against the injustice of the assassination.Antony through his oratory skills has been able to put down a great orator like Brutus and has instigated the mob against the conspirators.He says to the mob that they should do what they want to do. He would not interfere nor support their decision. The mob should do what they think as correct.Before this, Antony praises Caesar but in disguise. He shows his testament but again falsely praises the conspirators. This injects spark into the heap of gunpowder.
